Why Didn’t Councilman Brannan Send Someone to the Reopening Ceremony of the Library at John Dewey High School?
Coney Island residents aren’t loving the newly elected Councilman.
Councilman Justin Brannan showed up for a Martin Luther King event, but failed to show up at for the Reopening Ceremony of the newly renovated Library at John Dewey High School last Tuesday.
Councilman Brannan was scheduled to be there, but didn’t show. This must have been disappointing to the high school students.
Assemblyman Alec Brook-Krasny and State Senator Jessica Scarcella-Spanton both sent representatives. Why didn’t Brannan send his chief-of-staff? Chris McCreight is also the Democrat District Leader of this area.
Councilman Brannan probably thought no one would notice.
I am glad to see Coney Island leaders speaking out!
Sadly, Brannan and Chris McCreight thought it was appropriate to have a Martin Luther King Jr. Day event in Coney Island with lobbyists from the casino! McCreight should have spoken out against the lobbyists, but he was silent as usual.
Why doesn’t Councilman Brannan have enough money to sponsor a Martin Luther King Jr. event in his district without lobbyists?
Coney Island residents wrote on Facebook that they weren’t aware of the Martin Luther King event until three days before the event. I didn’t see Chris McCreight or Justin Brannan share the flyer on social media either.
Why do Chris McCreight and Justin Brannan think that there is only one group that can run a basketball team in Coney Island? They could easily use a different group.
Brannan posted this picture posing in front of the casino’s banner. (Click here) See more photos here.
Years ago, Chris McCreight was outspoken about lobbyists and Republican leaders. I had no idea what a lobbyist was until they told me. Why is McCreight alright with children wearing the logo for the casino? Even Mathlyde Frontus spoke out against this in the Summer!

Last May, I told you why Councilman Brannan would be the worst thing for Coney Island. (See here) Brannan has been lobbied over the casino.
While neither Brannan or McCreight have children, do you think they would do this at St. Patrick’s or any other school in Bay Ridge?
